September Mama of the Month
I'm Lauren Dial, mom to Jack (10) and Mae (7). Chris, my handsome other half, and I live in Larchmont and send our kids to Saint Patrick Catholic School. I grew up and attended college in central Missouri (GO TIGERS); then I moved to Virginia in 2005 without a gameplan. On my first of my many late nights spent out on Granby Street I met CDial, sparks flew, and we started dating. In 2006, we bought our first home and in 2007 we tied the knot.
I've been in real estate my entire career. For 14 years I sold condos for a local developer in Chesapeake as well as Virginia Beach. I was really good at it, but 9 times out of 10 I felt unfulfilled and bored. Enter COVD-19 lockdown. I was trapped at home with everyone that I either birthed or married and realized I could possibly get into working from my living room. In July 2020 I left the known and started selling real estate for Howard Hanna. It's been fun, fulfilling, and incredibly challenging! I've found a passion in work again. Now, 10 out of 10 times I'm fulfilled in my work day!
On a fitness note, I got tricked into trying Body Boost a few years ago. I was told it was a casual workout class for moms. After that first Saturday at the mall I could barely move my body, yet was completely hooked. With a semi-social personality, Body Boost has given me the social hour at 5:30AM I never knew thatI needed. Body Boost has given me muscles I didn't know existed. And most importantly Body Boost has given me friends that are like family and a support group like no other. I'm incredibly thankful to Caitlin, Erin, and the rest of the mom gang for pushing me to be the best version of myself even when I don't want to be!
XOXO,
Lauren
